Guest Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just being questioned about it by my lovely colleague who questions everything...thank you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 In the bin with the plastic gloves and nappy sack. The LA nurseries use yellow bin bags for that kind of thing an dthen they are collected by a company other than the council. What was she questioning?

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just being questioned about it by my lovely colleague who questions everything...thank you.. So now I'm intrigued where does she think they should go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 bin.. suppose if you use loads then a collection would be needed but how many do you use in a day? I also wonder where she expects them to go... perhaps that is what needs asking.. what she feels would be correct..( then reply with why not ! - costs for collection, too thin for recycling.. not soiled so no need for separate collection etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Theoretically could they go in the carrier bag recycling if they aren't soiled? I'm sure they are cleaner than some of the bags they must get in there. Just a thought. Ours go in the bag with the gloves etc and in the bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 we have a nappy bin, the ones get from your local supermarkets and theres a long strip of bag in itself (if that makes sense) you can seal it with the lid. then we put it in our big bin for rubbish men, used to use the yellow bags for collection but costs to much hope that helps louisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) We put ours in the our clear recycling bag - paper/plastic/foil etc. I checked with our local EH, and she said it wasn't a problem as we do not generate enough waste for yellow collection, and it was probably less waste than the average family with young children.

AnonyMouse_2418 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Just thought people might like to see this with regard to any waste disposed in 'normal' bins not covered by business waste removal fees/charges. http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/waste/15933.html Did you know that your business waste collection is not funded through 'Business Rates'? Just like any other utility, such as your water or electricity provision, you need to make arrangements for a commercial waste collection service with a registered supplier. All waste produced by all businesses is classed as ‘controlled waste’ under the Controlled Waste Regulations 1992. All businesses have a Duty of Care under The Environmental Protection Act (1990) to take all reasonable steps to keep waste safe and arrange for its legal disposal. This duty applies to waste, of any nature, associated with your business. It could come from your business premises, a work place or even a residential property. You are legally obliged to manage, store and dispose of your business waste safely and this usually entails entering into a Trade Waste Agreement with a contractor. Your contractor will supply you with copies of the Duty of Care and waste transfer documents. You need to keep these in a safe place as you could be asked to produce them by a Council Enforcement Officer or the Environment Agency, to prove that you are disposing of your waste legally.
